Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa take the “Jiggalate” to On The Radar | @OnTheRadarRadio

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa bring The Jiggalate to New York on On The Radar. Gabe P and Lady Jay share how they discovered the movement, their thoughts on the Jiggalate movement, and advice for rising artists.

From Naptown to New York

When regional culture reaches a national stage, it creates moments bigger than music. That is exactly what happened when Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa brought the “Jiggalate” movement from Indiana to New York City for a standout appearance on On The Radar.

The moment represented more than a performance. It was a celebration of Indiana energy, Naptown pride, and the power of music to connect cities and cultures.

How On The Radar Learned About Jiggalate

According to Gabe P., the movement came to his attention through Lady Jay, a key member of the On The Radar team with deep Indiana roots.

He explained that Lady Jay’s family is from the Indianapolis and Fort Wayne region, and she also attended Indiana University. After hearing about the song and dance a few months ago, Gabe P immediately saw the value in showcasing something meaningful to a member of the team and authentic to Indiana culture.

That decision turned into a national spotlight moment for Tezzerd Eagle & Swoe Whoa and the Jiggalate wave.

Naptown Talent Made a Strong Statement

When asked about seeing the Indiana artists in person, Gabe P spoke highly of the experience.

He shared that On The Radar values welcoming people from all walks of life because every appearance brings a new piece of culture into the room. He said the energy brought by Tezzerd Eagle, Swoe Whoa, Lil Billy, Kaz, Yo Mari and Norrie was needed, appreciated, and something he hoped made Naptown proud.

Lady Jay echoed those sentiments and said it was an incredible experience highlighting talent from Naptown and Indiana as a whole. She emphasized the importance of building community and connecting artists. She also noted how meaningful it was to see artists supporting each other throughout the event.

Lady Jay also remembered Norrie appearing previously during an On The Radar DJ set with DJ Draftpick, making his return even more exciting.

Could Tezzerd Eagle Return for a Remix?

When asked if Tezzerd Eagle could come back for a remix to Jiggalate, Gabe P kept the door wide open.

He explained that when any artist has a real movement that continues to grow, and when both the artist and On The Radar can amplify the moment together, it makes perfect sense.

That answer sends a clear message: keep building momentum.

Gabe P’s Advice for Artists Trying to Get On The Radar

Gabe P also offered honest advice for rising artists hoping to land on the platform.

First, he warned artists not to give money to scammers pretending to offer placements. He made it clear that On The Radar does not charge artists to appear.

Second, he encouraged artists to sharpen their craft and create music and content that stands out from the crowd instead of blending into it.

Finally, he explained that many artists are discovered organically through the team’s own feeds and research. There is no single formula, but consistent work gets noticed.

Special Thanks to Lady Jay

A special thank you goes to Lady Jay for helping bridge Indiana culture with a national audience. Her vision and connection helped create a moment that fans will remember.

Final Thoughts

Tezzerd Eagle and Swoe Whoa did more than perform a record. They helped bring a regional dance, a city’s energy, and a culture to one of hip-hop’s most visible platforms.

This is how movements grow—one opportunity, one stage, and one unforgettable performance at a time.

[Music] Thurgo (@thurgohmmg) - "HMMG"

Some artists make music. Thurgo builds leverage. His new single “HMMG” doesn’t chase trends or algorithms , it’s a statement. Born out of Detroit grind and sharpened by years inside the media and business world, “HMMG” is a pressure record. Heavy drums. Direct bars. Zero fluff. The kind of track that sounds like ownership, not hope. This isn’t inspiration rap. It’s execution. The title nods to the foundation behind Thurgo’s mindset. Family business roots, real-world experience, and years of learning how money, marketing, and power actually move. That edge shows in every line. He’s not talking about “making it.” He’s talking like someone who already did. “HMMG isn’t motivation. It’s discipline. It’s how I move every day. No handouts. No waiting. We build our own table.” – Thurgo While most independent artists rely on luck, Thurgo plays offense pairing music with strategy, visuals, and brand moves that hit like a rollout, not a hobby. The result is a sound that feels calculated, confident, and built to last. No gimmicks. No cosplay. Just Detroit work ethic and pressure.

The Bizness - "Down2Bizness" (Album) + "Loco" f/ Snoop Dogg (@SnoopDogg) (Video)

Ron Beavers, known in the music world as "The Bizness," is carving out an entirely new lane in music with the release of his debut album Down2Bizness. A bilingual American veteran whose worldview has been shaped by military service, extensive travel, and his marriage to a Colombian woman from Medellín, Beavers introduces "American Latin Trap Soul"—a genre-defying sound that fuses the West Coast settler mindset with the rhythms, flows, and energy of South America. The album is A&R'd by Matthew "M80" Markoff and will be distributed through underground hip-hop label 1332 Records on digital platforms, CD, and collectible two-sided 7" vinyl featuring the album's two singles. Down2Bizness was produced and co-written entirely with Medellín-based production duo Las Nubes (Valco and Daiz), resulting in an authentic cross-cultural collaboration that lives and breathes on every track. The album boasts two heavyweight singles: "Loco" featuring Snoop Dogg and "Quien Soy Yo" featuring Jelly Roll—artists whose own genre-bending careers mirror the boundary-pushing spirit of this project. For Beavers, making bilingual music isn't a gimmick; it's a reflection of his community, where an estimated 20-30% speak Spanish. "I make music for all of my people," he says. This coming-of-age album is just the beginning. Down2Bizness marks the first of three projects slated for release over the next twelve months, each designed to push the limits of blending genres and curating a signature sound. Beavers' ultimate vision is the Sin City Syndicate—a music collective that seamlessly unites Las Vegas, Medellín, Los Angeles, and Miami in sound, culture, and vibe. With roots in service, family, and two cultures he calls home, The Bizness is building something bigger than an album: he's building a movement.

[Video] Cashtank - "Reglo" | Directed by @phillyflyboy

Embracing the Hustle: Cashtank’s Rise from the Streets In a world where success is often measured by material wealth and outward appearances, Cashtank’s journey stands as a testament to the power of perseverance, authenticity, and unwavering faith. As the opening lines of his track “Cashtank – Reglo” reveal, this artist has faced his fair share of challenges, navigating the harsh realities of life on the streets and the temptation to take the “easy” path. Yet, Cashtank’s story is not one of defeat, but of triumph. He could have “gone legit,” as he so eloquently puts it, but he chose to stay true to himself and his roots, grinding tirelessly to make his dreams a reality. This decision, while not without its struggles, has forged a resilience and self-assurance that shines through in his music and his message. Overcoming Adversity: Cashtank’s Honest Reflections Throughout the lyrics of “Cashtank – Reglo,” Cashtank lays bare the raw realities of his journey, painting a vivid picture of the challenges he has faced and the lessons he has learned along the way. From the financial strain of “get[ting] a third shift check but got to wait till next week” to the emotional toll of “trying to live like the Jones,” Cashtank’s words resonate with a authenticity that is both humbling and inspiring. One of the most poignant moments in the track comes when Cashtank reflects on the weight of his own pride, acknowledging that it had prevented him from “writ[ing] [his] wrongs” and accepting help from others. This moment of self-reflection speaks to the depth of Cashtank’s character, as he grapples with the complexities of his past and the lessons he has had to learn the hard way. The Power of Faith and Perseverance Despite the obstacles he has faced, Cashtank’s unwavering faith and determination shine through in his music. As he raps, “I got the faith all in my chest. Not just rapping all these songs,” it becomes clear that his journey is about more than just chasing success or fame. It is a testament to the transformative power of belief, both in oneself and in a higher purpose. Cashtank’s refrain of “I ain’t legit yet” further underscores this idea, as he acknowledges that his journey is ongoing, a constant battle against the demons that have threatened to derail him. Yet, in the face of this adversity, he remains steadfast, driven by an unshakable determination to prove his worth and make his mark on the world. The Importance of Authenticity and Staying True to Oneself One of the most striking aspects of Cashtank’s story is his unwavering commitment to authenticity. As he declares, “Me tried to make another me, but I ain’t a clone,” it becomes clear that he has no interest in conforming to the expectations or standards of others. Instead, he has chosen to forge his own path, embracing the unique qualities and experiences that have shaped him into the artist and individual he is today. This dedication to authenticity is not only admirable, but it also serves as a powerful inspiration to others who may be struggling to find their own voice and identity. In a world that often values conformity and the pursuit of external validation, Cashtank’s refusal to compromise his true self is a refreshing and empowering reminder that the most meaningful success often comes from within. The Enduring Bonds of Community and Loyalty Woven throughout Cashtank’s lyrics is a deep appreciation for the relationships and connections that have sustained him through the ups and downs of his journey. As he reflects on those who have “really had” him, it becomes clear that the support and loyalty of his community have been instrumental in his ability to persevere. This sense of community and belonging is further reinforced, which highlights Cashtank’s collaborations with other creatives, such as the director PhillyFlyBoy. By surrounding himself with like-minded individuals who share his passion and vision, Cashtank has tapped into the power of collective effort and mutual support, a testament to the transformative impact of strong, meaningful relationships. The Enduring Legacy of Cashtank’s Artistry As Cashtank’s story unfolds through the lyrics of “Cashtank – Reglo,” it becomes clear that his artistry is not merely a means to an end, but a reflection of his very essence. His words, imbued with raw emotion and unwavering authenticity, serve as a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-belief. In a world that often values flash over substance, Cashtank’s music stands as a refreshing and inspiring counterpoint, reminding us that true greatness is not measured by material wealth or outward success, but by the depth of one’s character and the steadfastness of one’s convictions. As he continues to forge his path, Cashtank’s story will undoubtedly inspire and uplift countless others who are navigating their own journeys of self-discovery and personal growth.

From Mourning to Music – The Story Behind “Memory Lane” by Kowboy Ice

Behind every great song is a story—and Memory Lane tells one of the hardest there is: saying goodbye to the person who gave you life. For Kowboy Ice, that person was his mother. Her passing left a space in his heart that music became the only way to fill. In this stripped-down country soul ballad, Kowboy lays his grief on the table and lets the world see his pain. It’s not performative. It’s personal. The song is slow, deliberate, and haunting, giving every lyric space to breathe. But even in its sorrow, Memory Lane brings comfort. It reminds us that we’re not alone in our sadness. And sometimes, hearing someone else say what we can’t is exactly what we need to keep going. Bio: Born in the grit. Forged in the fire. Raised on truth. Kowboy Ice is rewriting the rules of country music. Straight outta Nashville, he’s bringing raw stories, street-born wisdom, and Southern soul to every beat. His sound? A fearless fusion of outlaw country, hip-hop swagger, and heartfelt storytelling. He’s what happens when Garth meets Tupac, Dolly meets Snoop, and country finally catches up with the streets. Before the spotlight, he was surviving poverty and serving 7 years in the feds. Now? He’s flipping pain into platinum. And the world’s taking notice. His latest singles are making serious noise: 🔥 “Take Shots” – a no-holds-barred high energy party anthem. 🔥 “The Grinch” – a holiday hit with major edge and viral potential. 🔥 “Memory Lane” – a soul-stirring tribute to his late mother that’s helping people everywhere heal from loss. With 15 cities already rocked and crowds growing by the day, Kowboy Ice isn’t just performing—he’s preaching truth, sparking movement, and bringing that fire promoters dream about. Fans don’t just listen—they feel every word. From dive bars to festival stages, his live show hits are different: high energy, pure heart, and zero filters.

Author Dwayne “Cooli Hi” Jones "Almost Famous" | @CooliHi

We all are the sum of our choices. This book details my choices as well as the hand I was dealt to begin with. Since a small child I always had dreams of being famous through the channels of music but as we all know, you have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack than to make it big in the music business! Growing up in Baltimore City is a challenge all by itself and adding a damn near impossible dream to the mix, makes the challenge even greater. This is the story of how a young inner city kid willed his way from the hood to being featured on Sisqo’s (from Dru Hill) platinum selling single (Can I Live- Produced by: Teddy Riley) a two million dollar record deal with RCA and touring all over the world with notable artists such as The Backstreet Boys, Destiny’s Child, Nelly and many more! There’s no road map to superstardom so the path was unpredictable and a lot of times chaotic but the mission was accomplished. Or was it? Loyalty, betrayal, kidnapping & questionable murder mixed with bright lights, money, women, personal relationships, sacrifices, failure & success all are pertinent ingredients in the pot of gumbo I refer to as my life. This is the ugly truth of how I almost became famous.

Late Bloomer showcases Gitta Thomas’ growth as an artist, offering a raw, unfiltered look at the challenges and overall roller coaster of life.
